Lower your rate in minutes!
If you drive fewer miles than the average American, you shouldn't be paying average insurance rates. Low-mileage drivers represent lower risk to insurers — fewer miles on the road means fewer opportunities for an accident.
Whether you work from home, use public transit regularly, or simply don't rack up many miles, there are insurance options specifically designed to reward you for driving less. Pay-per-mile and low-mileage discount programs can save some drivers 20–40% compared to standard policies.
| Option | How It Works | Best For | Avg. Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard low-mileage discount | Declare low annual mileage at quote | Under 7,500 mi/year | 5 – 15% |
| Pay-per-mile insurance | Base rate + per-mile charge | Under 5,000 mi/year | 20 – 40% |
| Usage-based telematics | Tracks driving habits via app or device | Any low-mileage driver | 10 – 30% |
| Pleasure-use classification | Vehicle not used for commuting | Work-from-home drivers | 5 – 12% |
